A NEW STORY
LA BOITE CONCEPT X MICROMEGA
In a desire to combine know-how and a mutual trust approach, La Boite concept (CC LAB SAS) thus completes its expertise in acoustics (loudspeakers and speakers) with Micromega’s skills in amplifiers and turntables.
Created in 1987 and managed since 2007 by Didier Hamdi, Micromega’s credo is the purity of sound.
It is therefore natural that the management of the company passed on this credo to Timothée Cagniard, founder in 2008 and since then director of La Boite concept, with the certainty of shared values and the conviction to push even further the quest for innovation that made Micromega an expert and undisputed leader in acoustics and “the sound of France”.
The future projects developed thanks to this alliance of acoustic / electronic skills will be all-in-one audio products, coherently designed from A to Z by La Boite concept with the support of the Micromega technical team in its Boissy St Léger workshops.
